43 McKinley Ave, Norwich, CT 06360

Classic New England colonial. A time of grand porches, high ceilings and exquisite woodworking. Four bedrooms, 1.5 baths and the kind of architectural detail that, while common in finer homes during the early 20th C, is rarely found in new homes today. Example: what might have been called the parlor (overlooking broad front porch), connects to a formal living room. There are pocket doors to close this room from the dining room (built-in china cabinet). A first floor laundry room off an updated kitchen. The main staircase, as you step through the entry foyer with coat closet winds up to the second floor and bedrooms. The cool thing about homes from this era? A second set of stairs at the back of the house leads up to the walk-up attic, (also down to the cellar). The backyard is quite private, (stairs up to Freeman Ave). There is a seasonal porch along the right side of the house, extending the leisure season into early Autumn and late Spring. Bring your contractor to better see the path to restoring the gracious living inherent in this house. As you explore, note the presence of modern/replacement windows (one item to check off the list with your consultant). Did we mention towering oaks and a walk down into Norwich proper?
